Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells alive and functioning. When cells experience stress—such as lack of nutrients ...

Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and Imperial College London have shown for the first time that, before they can start developing into egg and sperm cells, the embryonic ...

AI-driven autonomous robots are coming to biology laboratories, but researchers insist that human skills remain essential.

Humans develop sharp vision during early fetal development thanks to an interplay between a vitamin A derivative and thyroid hormones in the retina, Johns Hopkins University scientists have found. The ...

The work addresses a persistent limitation in experimental diabetes therapies. In Type 1 diabetes, insulin producing islet ...

NASA uses a portable microplate reader on the International Space Station to study bone loss, providing real-time biological data for astronaut health and space biology research.

Leonard Zon, professor of stem cell and regenerative biology and Grousbeck Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, has been awarded the 2026 March of Dimes Richard B. Johnston Jr., MD Prize ...

In a 2023 paper on hypoxia and glucose metabolism, our lab showed how organisms rewire their metabolism to adapt to low oxygen levels—such as those found at high altitudes. One of the most striking ...

In a new study published in the journal Nature Genetics, Haolong Li, PhD, a researcher at Fred Hutch Cancer Center, and colleagues developed a way to monitor androgen receptor levels inside living ...

Researchers have built a realistic human mini spinal cord in the lab and used it to simulate traumatic injury. The model reproduced key damage seen in real spinal cord injuries, including inflammation ...

ADRIAN WOOLFSON, scientist and founder of Genyro, has authored a brave new book, 'On the Future of Species'. Here, Woolfson ...

The team of researchers led by Prof. Kristian Franze found that increasing tissue stiffness induces the expression of chemical signals that are typically absent in those regions. Semaphorin 3A is one ...
